Brads Top 10s - Hot Places

We are currently having a heatwave in the UK and us Brits just can't copeWe are just so used to our rain and grey weather and hope for the summer, but when we do get it we just can't copePigeons burst into flamesOur Tea spontaneously combustsOur beloved chocolate meltsand tons of liquid pours out of our poresSo with that in mind I though I'd take a look at my ten favourite hot places in media

10. Banjo-Kazooie

- Gobi's Valley

Gobi's Valley is the sixth location visited from Gruntilda's Lair in the original Banjo Kazooie gameFeaturing 3 different pyramids, a dog sphinx and a giant golden Kazooie statueNamed after Gobi, a camel in the level that you can torment

Apart from the quicksand, the various tourist photos you could get here would be legendaryPlus in this level bottles teaches you how to run with trainers....hmmmm on second thoughts that would make you WAY too hot

9. Star Wars

- Mustafar

WOULD I VACATION THERE?

WAY too hot for my liking

- Miami

The fourth zone in the Sonic and Knuckles gamesIt is based in a boiling hot network of mines with rocks, rocks, lava and more rocks

WOULD I VACATION THERE?

Hell no, metal platforms with spikes on? Can you imagine how hot they get?Plus most rocks just crumble away leading to death by Lava so I'll give this one a miss
